crypto_skcipher_reqtfm(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to crypto_skcipher_reqtfm(9) from the Kernel API Manual. This one is crypto_skcipher_reqtfm — literally the function that lets you obtain the cipher handle from a request. No cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature in all its glory:

       struct crypto_skcipher * crypto_skcipher_reqtfm (struct skcipher_request
       *req );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• req — the skcipher_request you're pulling the cipher handle out of. That's the whole assignment, bestie. 🎀

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So when you've got yourself an skcipher_request data structure, this function returns the crypto_skcipher handle. It's giving “request, meet your cipher handle” energy. ✨

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

A crypto_skcipher handle. That's it, that's the return. 💖
